Very Melanated was born from a moment of quiet recognition — watching a Black woman provide daily meals to unhoused neighbors, not for attention, but out of purpose. It sparked a deep truth: We’ve always done this. We’ve always nurtured, created, built, and healed — often in silence, often unseen.

That realization became a remembering.

And that remembering became a mission.

At Very Melanated, we believe fashion is more than style — it’s storytelling. It’s healing. It’s a mirror. Every design we create is a call to Remember Who You Are, rooted in what we call Celf Love — a conscious, intentional love of self that is deeply rooted in ancestral pride, radical self-acceptance, and creative expression.

We understand that looking in the mirror — really seeing yourself — can be uncomfortable. But it’s also sacred. Very Melanated was created to hold space for that journey. To reflect the beauty, the brilliance, and the legacy of melanated people everywhere.

We are not just a brand. We are a homecoming.

Through fashion, storytelling, and community, we hope to inspire people to tap into their power, their purpose, and their people. Because we are all mirrors for each other. And when we reflect love, we return home to ourselves.

Welcome to Very Melanated. The home of Melanation.
